The house, to a blackjack player (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opponent

(Other definitions for opponent that I've seen before include "Contestant you're matched against" , "member of other team" , "Challenger" , "One competes against you" , "One's competitor" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
